Best 3 Smoked Salmon And Lime Risotto Recipes

SMOKED SALMON RISOTTO

Steps:

• Dice the onion(s) into small dice. Saute in 1 butter until golden.
• Add rice and stir thoroughly to coat; cook over medium-high heat for about two minutes.
• Add the wine, salt and dill to the rice/onion mixture.
• Heat vegetable stock in a separate pot. Using a large soup ladle, add one ladleful to the rice at a time, stirring constantly in between additions. (This is somewhere between half a cup and a cup of stock.) Wait until the liquid is absorbed before adding the next ladleful. The whole process of adding liquid should take anywhere from 20-30 minutes.
• Take half of the smoked salmon and chop it fine. Add to remaining butter and cream thoroughly. Take the other half of the smoked salmon and coarsely chop it.
• About two minutes before the rice has finished cooking, add the butter/salmon mixture and the coarsely chopped salmon. Stir for another two minutes, until thoroughly incorporated and creamy. Add the parmesan and stir for another minute or two.

SMOKED SALMON AND LIME RISOTTO

Steps:

• Fry the onions gently in a little olive oil but don't brown.
• Add garlic and chilli, fry till softened. Then add the arborio rice, thyme and butter and ensure that the rice is thoroughly coated with the butter mix, do not allow the rice to burn or brown.
• Add 1/2 cup dry white wine and reduce till there is just a small amount of wine left in the pan.
• Squeeze in the juice of half a lime and add some of the zest.
• On a moderate heat add one ladleful at a time of the chicken stock (made from stock cubes will suffice), stirring frequently and not allowing the mix to dry out. Keep one or two ladlefuls of the stock back for the last bit.
• Turn heat down to very low and add a small pack of smoked salmon sliced (about 4oz) sliced into strips, add a tiny bit more stock, then add some fine green beans or baby asparagus and some fresh peas, add last bit of stock, cook for a couple more mins until the vegetables are just cooked, with a little bit of a bite remaining and add lots of fresh chives, lots of fresh ground black pepper and 4 tbsp of creme fraiche. Stir gently.
• Add a final squeeze of lime juice, add parmesan, check seasoning and serve. The risotto should still be slightly wet, not sticky.

SALMON RISOTTO

Steps:

• Heat the butter in a medium pot over medium-high heat. When it's hot, add the minced shallots and sauté, stirring often. When the shallots are soft, add the rice and stir well. Cook, stirring often, a few minutes, then add the Marsala or white wine. Stir constantly until the liquid has mostly evaporated.
• Start adding the stock 1 cup at a time, stirring it in well. Turn the heat down to medium-low, and cook this, stirring often, until the liquid has mostly been absorbed. Repeat with another cup of stock, and so on until the rice is tender, but still a little al dente. It's possible you will need another cup of liquid. If this is the case, use water.
• Once the rice is about ready, stir in the salmon and the pesto and cook another few minutes. You want your risotto to be loose enough to serve in a bowl, not a plate, so add water if need be. Grind some pepper over it and serve.
